What was your 2011 game of the year?

Based on time I put into it and time that I enjoyed, Skyrim.

What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why?The first time you land on the Citadel in Mass Effect 1. There's a sense of wonder and awe when you realize that you are on a tiny portion of this massive world. There's so much to explore and there's so much left to think and dream about.


Favorite Pen & Paper RPG, and why?Munchkin. It's not your standard D&D pen and paper game, but one that you can have a laugh with your friends(simply based on the card pictures).


In your opinion, what's the best video game system of all time?
PC master race, but the Xbox 360 takes a good second place.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

What good books (besides the Halo novels) have you been reading lately that you would recommend?
The Hobbit - Its like a diet Lord of the Rings. Its good to keep it fresh in the mind for the new film this Christmas, come to think of it, thats quite a while away so Im probs gonna read it again nearer the time.


What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why?
Dom being killed in Gears of War 3. Everything about it was amazing and the music just topped it. I think my jaw was on the floor for that whole cutscene.


Why you gotta be like that?
I am merely a product of my environment.

Both! I love jelly beans! They are jelly beans, right?


Reach deep now. Why do you play games?
Games complete me (rather then the other way round)

What was your 2011 game of the year?

BF3, definitely. I've put as much hours into it as well, Halo.

What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why?

The thing that comes to mind is in Halo 2 when Chief leaves Cortana on High Charity. Really not sure why... Just a good scene.

Has playing a game narrative (story, characters, etc.) ever caused you to cry?
Real men don't cry.

Why you gotta be like that?

I am the chosen one.

Confession: I've never seen the movie that picture came from and I have no idea of its relevance.


Who is your best and worst villain?
Best villain has got to be... wait.. They all suck. Instead of finishing their plans they spend the entire time telling it to the protagonist.


What was your favorite non-Halo Bungie game, and why?

I've honestly never played another Bungie game that isn't Halo. None of them really appeal to me.

I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

When you aren't playing Halo or dreaming about what we're concocting, what do you do for fun?

I mess around with my computer along, gimping it up (and by that, I mean I draw in gimp, get your mind out of the gutter). Oh, and I film stuff, tis fun.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

*input "Sea Hunt"*
*scans results*
None the wiser!! Must be an American thing. I was expecting a bawdy sea shanty.


NO

Sea Hunt is a VERY, VERY, VERY old show about a Scuba diver who goes on various adventures from helping a pilot trapped in a Jet plane 50 feet underwater to collecting samples of Marine plants in a remote coral reef.

I like watching it as I am really into scuba diving.

Thank you Ken for your explanation. Those black 'n' white movies are so hard for us young'uns to decipher.
O_o



??? I am not "old", I am 18!!!! :/

I thought it was cool people at Bungie have seen Sea Hunt. I have only seen a few episodes but it is a really cool show.

What good books (besides the Halo novels) have you been reading lately that you would recommend?
Well I recently got back into some John Steinbeck, so you all should really check out some of his works, though I doubt many of you haven't read of those novels. Beowulf is always fun to fall back on, though a new personal favorite is The Fountain Head by Ayn Rand is really fun, and would make playing Bioshock for the story really interesting. If you haven't already, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "series" is really an astonishingly fun read, and I'd be happy to loan my copy if anyone wants to borrow it.



What was your 2011 game of the year? Close tie between Battlefield 3 and Portal 2. It would probably go to Battlefield 3 because I have spent so much more time on it, but I can't commit to that answer because I had so much more fun with Portal 2.



What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why? Call of Duty 4, when you are killed by the nuke. I think something about actually dying in a game was so stunningly new to me, and the story behind my death was so chaotic and real, it has always struck me as a well placed and well timed event. This was topped by Red Dead's death scene, but CoD4 did it first, so I have give it credit.



Has playing a game narrative (story, characters, etc.) ever caused you to cry?During Mass Effect 3, there is a moment when you can just hang out and relax with Garrus. I don't know why, but the camaraderie of that moment reminded me of how close I am with my friends in real life. The development of our friendship over the three games was finally enjoyed in these few moments, and I welled up with a single man tear.



Choose one. Explain your choice. Red. To live in ignorance is not to live, even if the truth is more than I could have ever expected. By letting myself know what is real, I will truly live my life, no matter how risky it ends up; dying would be more real this way, and there can be no regrets when you own your life away from oppression.



Reach deep now. Why do you play games? The ability to submerge myself in a completely different universe is so painstakingly fun, so amazingly thrilling that I will always clammier for more. Living life in the shoes of Master Chief made me feel invincible and important, running the streets as Faith in Mirrors edge made my heart race with terror. Popping heads in Gears of War satisfied my competitive longings, and winning a game in Call of Duty 4 quelled my anger (or sometimes that game fueled it.) Games are a part of my life, and it is wonderful game companies like Bungie that make me enjoy playing more and more every time.



What was your first game system, and what was your favorite game on that system? N64, with Mario 64 being my favorite. I joined the gaming world a little later on than most people.



In your opinion, what's the best video game system of all time? PC, even if I'm a console gamer for life. The truth is that consoles can't compete with PCs. It's just not possible.

They call me Mister Nuke. You, my fine acquaintance, may call me Mister Nuke. Welcome to the wonderful dystopia that is my user page. If you're here about something I may have done to upset you, do not waste your precious time sending me a message. I will not reply. There is a good chance it was not really upsetting and that you are angry over nothing. If it was a "big deal," then well, my bad.

Let's face it, Pickard over Kirk any day.

Bill Shatner is epic, but Patrick Stewart is Patrick Stewart. With that much baldness, it's impossible for him not to be badass.

Pickard has a much more commanding presence, where as Kirk's presence isn't entirely commanding.

And that's all I can think of from the top of my head.

What good books (besides the Halo novels) have you been reading lately that you would recommend?

Any of the books series and one-offs by Matthew Reilly; most prominently the series involving Shane 'Scarecrow' Scofield. Action packed with a good storyline.

Usually playing soccer with my University buds at the UNSW village green.

What was your favorite non-Halo Bungie game, and why?
Have always loved Half-Life ever since its release in 1998. I love puzzles being incorporated with an FPS; adds a certain spin to certain encounters and getting through certain areas.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.


What good books (besides the Halo novels) have you been reading lately that you would recommend?

"The Brilliant Disaster." It is about the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. It reads like a thriller, but can get boring at times.

What was your 2011 game of the year?

To be honest, Battlefield 3. The campaign was fun (but lacked a strong story), the multiplayer is addictive, and co-op is fun as well. I love the realism factor, too. It would have been Skyrim, but it go boring after a while, same with Revelations.

What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why?

The Flood. It was the best twist ever; who would of thought that they would encounter something like that in a game about fighting aliens? It was one of the best twists ever.

Has playing a game narrative (story, characters, etc.) ever caused you to cry?

I sniffled when it was Johnson's time to go.

If we built the stadium, would you enter a real world Grifball tournament?

Well, if it is non-lethal then yes.

What was your favorite non-Halo Bungie game, and why?

Marathon. I'm thinking about trying Myth soon and whatever games you make in the future.

What good books (besides the Halo novels) have you been reading lately that you would recommend?



I've been reading the Star Wars New Jedi Order series in order to prepare for the final book in a later series. It's a long series that is infamous for killing off Chewbacca in the very first book. This really sets the tone early on showing how serious the events are that are taking place. I recommend it.


What's your most memorable story moment from any game you've played, ever, and why?


Darth Malak revealing your true identity as Darth Revan in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. After many hours being totally immersed in the game and story and devoting my character to the light side, it came as a shock to be unveiled as a former evil doer. Not to mention the whole cutscene/flashback that followed was super cool.
